It wasn't until everything was calm back that Shaohua found that her two sons were frightened by the situation just now, and she apologized a little and pulled them to her side to comfort them.

Cheng Li had seen the Ling clan teach the minions by the Ling clan's side, so he recovered relatively quickly. But for Aunt Yan, who was holding his hand just now and wanting to eat him, Cheng Li shuddered when she thought about it, and asked with palpitations: "A-Niang, who are those people?" ”

Shaohua thought for a while and decided not to mention Aunt Yan's identity to them, but just smiled: "The person who bullied your father." ”

"Someone dares to bully Daddy!" Cheng Xi was taken aback, he didn't expect that his terrible father would dare to bully?

But think about it, for his father's gloomy anger, the group of people just now made Cheng Xi feel even more uncomfortable. The three little boys, in particular, were about the same age as him, and they always sneaked over and touched his clothes and shoes while the adults were talking. The strange and invisible fear made him want to kick them all out, especially later, when a child hid under the table and wanted to steal the silver, Cheng Xi looked at the little black hand sticking out from under the table, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.

Shaohua sensed his youngest son's uneasiness, and hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, A-Niang has already run away." Cheng Xi took the opportunity to hide in Shaohua's arms coquettishly, and Cheng Xi was red when he saw it.

Comfort to comfort, after they calmed down, Shaohua let them stand side by side in front of him, and first looked at the eldest son who was slightly taller: "Cheng Li, A-Niang asks you, do you know what you did wrong just now?" ”

Cheng Li obviously didn't expect Shaohua to scold her like this, pursed her lips, and whispered, "I shouldn't trip her." ”

Shaohua acquiesced in his cognition, and then asked, "Why shouldn't it?" ”

"Because, because...... I do not know. ”

Cheng Xi was a little embarrassed, he just watched Cheng Xi secretly remove Aunt Yan's chair and cause her to fall, and he also wanted to learn from Cheng Xi, so he ran over and tripped the daughter-in-law. But he didn't expect that Cheng Xi was not scolded, but he was scolded, and he finally settled down, and fell into the valley again.

However, Shaohua's next words made him dumbfounded, and he didn't know what he meant, "Do you know that this is very dangerous, if you can't trip, what if you fall by yourself?" They're all so much taller than you, what if they come back and beat you? Also, just now she was holding a baby in her arms, anyway, the adult's fault should not be involved in the child, in case the child falls and hurts, they rely on you, then what are you going to do? ”

He opened his mouth for a long time, but he couldn't squeak a word, and he didn't react for a while why Shaohua would ask like this.

If it was changed to the Li family, the Ling family would not praise him to the sky, where would he blame him. However, Cheng Li once heard Li Sinian say to him: "Your father and mother must not want you to grow up to be a pampered son." Because of this sentence, he didn't dare to indulge himself in everything, for fear that he wouldn't like him when Shaohua and the others came back.

"My aunt doesn't blame you for not being able to do it, it's because you didn't think it through. When encountering this kind of unreasonableness, first of all, you have to make sure that you are not in danger, and secondly, if you have A-Niang, you just need to hide, and the other A-Niang will deal with it. Bao'er secretly covered her mouth and smiled, thinking that her wife's education method was really special, but for a naughty mischievous person like Cheng Xi, there was really no need to worry about him being bullied, but Cheng Li was too depressed, obviously having momentum and responsibility, but unconsciously timid.

After repeatedly confirming in his heart that Shaohua was not blaming himself, Cheng Li's heart brightened again, and he still whispered: "But my father said that I will protect my younger brothers and sisters in the future, and I will also protect my father and aunt." ”

Shaohua touched his head lovingly, and said to him solemnly: "That's right, I need you to protect him in the future, but not now, you are still young, and when you are like your father, A-Niang will rest assured that you will deal with it, but before that, what you need to do is to protect yourself and don't let your father worry, understand?" ”

Originally, it felt so good to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and Cheng Li nodded very hard: "Understood." ”

"And Chengxi!" When Shaohua turned his gaze to his youngest son, Cheng Xi, who was very knowledgeable about current affairs, immediately spoke: "Auntie, that old woman didn't hold the child. ”

As a result, Shaohua didn't scold him, but praised with a smile, making him a little surprised, "You did a good job this time." You just defended your brother, you must know that your own brothers are all a piece of meat that fell from A-Niang's body, no matter what happens, you have to protect each other. My brother just wanted to protect you before he did such an impulsive thing, and you defended your brother from letting A-Niang scold, which is a good thing. But just pulling the chair ......"

Cheng Xi didn't think about defending Cheng Li, but he just believed that the enemy of the enemy was a friend, so as long as he was on the same front to deal with others, Cheng Xi subconsciously regarded Cheng Li as his own camp. But when I think about it, it's a little awkward, obviously I hate him. Aiming at Cheng Li smirking at him, Cheng Xi turned his head, not wanting his mother to expose himself, so he immediately hid in her arms and coquettishly: "Auntie, okay, I know it's wrong, don't say it." ”

Shaohua's original intention is also to let them understand each other, after all, brothers who have never thought of since childhood, many times the heart is good, but the way of expression does not make the other party understand.

"What about you, Cheng Li."

"Auntie, I also know that I am wrong."

Cheng Li was naturally very happy to admit his mistakes, because his younger brother defended him, and his mother also cared about him, so what was so difficult about admitting his mistakes.

Shaohua nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Xiaobao to bring two bowls of water, looking at Cheng Li's inexplicable and Cheng Xi's crying and complaining little face, she smiled gently: "Knowing that mistakes can be corrected is a good child, come, take a bowl of water by yourself, and squat at the door until your father comes back." ”

Cheng Xi still wanted to bargain, but when he saw Shaohua smiling, he had to obediently hold the bowl and walk carefully behind Cheng Li, complaining in his heart that Xiaobao filled the water too much. If this is sprinkled in northern Sichuan, it will be punished for an extra hour.

However, Cheng Li, who had never felt corporal punishment, seemed very happy, at least his mother was not as estranged and polite to him as a stranger. He followed the example of Chengxi, squatting by the wall, holding the bowl high above his head, and the passing minions watched the two little masters squatting at the door in a witty posture, each covering their mouths and snickering.

Cheng Xi was very embarrassed to laugh, looking at Cheng Li, who had been smiling all the time, and seemed to regard this corporal punishment as a game, he complained angrily: "It's all you!" If it weren't for the event, A-Niang wouldn't have punished me. ”

"You've done something wrong, too." Cheng Li said to him with a smile.

"No, that old woman didn't hold the child, you have!" Cheng Xi couldn't get used to his brother's smiling face, so he yelled angrily, but the bowl above his head shook and sprinkled a little, which frightened him to immediately straighten his back and not move around.

"But A-Niang said ......"

"That's my aunt, not yours." Cheng Xi interrupted him, but he suddenly froze in embarrassment when he saw Cheng Li's smiling face, and his heart was a little unnatural, so he turned his head and changed the topic. "Why hasn't Daddy come back, I'm going to be exhausted."

Although Cheng Li knew in his heart that his mother loved him, his brother's xenophobia made him feel that he couldn't enter the family, and the original happy mood disappeared in an instant. Cheng Xi didn't mean to provoke him, after being severely repaired by his father, he still has some shadows in his heart. Although he was reluctant to agree, he admitted that Cheng Li was his brother, because Yan Kaizhi told him: If he is disobedient, he will be the one who will stay in the Li family in the future, and Cheng Li will follow them in northern Sichuan.

In Cheng Xi's opinion, the Li family is Cheng Li's home, and no matter how good his grandparents are to him, they will never be as good as they are to Cheng Li, so he can't let Cheng Li snatch his parents away.

The two brothers had their own concerns and were silent to each other, until a tiger-headed teenager appeared in front of them, almost so frightened that the two bowls of water almost fell over. "What mistake did you make to be punished here?"

The child in front of him is the same size as Jingwu, but he looks stronger, his eyebrows are delicate and cute, but unfortunately there are some acne marks left on his face, which are just at the sideburns. Although it is not broken, the acne scar is very deep, and it looks like a piece of white and lusty jade has been bumped into a hole, which always makes people feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, the lord of Yinghua was annoyed with Shaohua, and he didn't want to see him, but Fan Ziyu protected this cousin more than anyone else.

Cheng Li was a little surprised to see Ziyu at this time, "Why are you here, is the third aunt here too?" ”

Ziyu, who was tiger-headed, never fell on Cheng Xi, and smiled at Cheng Xi, "Well, Ah Niang and the fifth aunt are talking in the house, let me accompany you." "Compared with Jingwu, Ziyu and Cheng Li's relationship is deeper, in Wanhua's words, it is the younger brother who has been rubbed into his bones since he was a child, and whatever he eats at home, he has to send it to Li's house for Cheng Li to eat the next day. So when he saw Cheng Li's little hand trembling and holding the bowl, he immediately took Cheng Li's bowl away.

"Cheng Li, I'll help you get water."

Cheng Li felt that his hands were empty, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "No, no, no, this is A-Niang's punishment." ”

Cheng Xi, who was completely ignored, finally couldn't help but shout: "Who are you! Come to my house and do something! ”

Cheng Li looked back at his younger brother who was still squatting on the ground honestly, "Cheng Xi, he is the cousin of the third aunt's family, you have to call him Brother Ziyu." ”

Cheng Xi turned his head angrily, but his small mouth flattened aggrievedly: "Ugly monster, I don't want it!" ”

Although his younger brother is very important, Cheng Li does not allow his cousin, who has never been the same to him, to be scolded, because he knows that the scar on Ziyu's face will be left because of him. "Chengxi, you can't say that about Ziyu!"

Seeing Cheng Li's selfish protection, Cheng Xi shouted even more fiercely, his eyes were red, "I want to say, ugly ugly, ugly, ugly!" ”

Ziyu didn't seem to take Cheng Xi's words to heart, he still smiled, took Cheng Li's hand, and said gently: "Cheng Li, don't be angry, I'm not angry, the child, let's not care about him, I'll accompany you to play, the fifth aunt said that you can play swings here." ”

"Wait, you can't go!" Seeing that the two were about to leave, Cheng Xi shouted anxiously.

"Ziyu, A-Niang punished me, I can't run around." Cheng Li is also honest, seeing that his younger brother has not moved since just now, but he has stood up, and he is a little unhappy in his heart.

As a result, Ziyu took the bowl, poured all the water into his stomach in one go, and put the bowl in front of the stunned Chengxi, "I've finished drinking the water, now you can go." ”

"I said you, you can't go with him, come back!" Cheng Xi's face turned red, but he couldn't say a word to soften, and even his brother didn't want to shout, "You, you...... Daddy hasn't come yet, if you run away, Auntie will be angry! ”

Ziyu deliberately grimaced at him, "Fifth Aunt said, as long as I drink all the water, you bully Cheng Li, I won't help you drink the water." ”

Cheng Fei breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Ziyu was here to help, but since Ziyu helped him, he naturally had to help his younger brother, "I'll help you ......"

"No!" Cheng Xi's eyes were red, crystal tears were about to fall, and after scolding fiercely, tears also fell. "If you want to go, you should go, anyway, you are not from our Yan family, you are from the Li family!" Cheng Li didn't know if it was because he was frightened when he saw his brother shed tears, or because he was hit by his words, the whole person stayed in place, and Ziyu felt distressed when he saw it.

He glared at Cheng Xi fiercely, and his tone became bad, "Why do you say bad things about Cheng Xi!" ”

Although Ziyu was much taller than him, Cheng Xiren retorted unconvinced: "I'll just say, what's wrong with you, ugly monster!" ”

The two stared at each other for a while, Ziyu was so angry that he smashed the bowl in his hand on the ground to boost his momentum, and Cheng Xi didn't dare to admit defeat and smashed the bowl out, and the splashed porcelain and water splashes all fell on a pair of big feet.

"Looks like he's got a lot of talent." A sneer frightened the three little boys.

Cheng Xi's face turned pale, looked at his father who was not smiling, and shouted tremblingly: "Daddy, daddy......"

Although Ziyu didn't remember this uncle-in-law very much, she was so frightened when she saw Cheng Xi that she immediately didn't dare to make a sound and hid behind Cheng Xi.

Hearing that Aunt Yan came to the house to make trouble, Yan Kaizhi couldn't wait to rush back, but he didn't expect to see this scene at first sight when he came back. He looked at each child one by one with a cold gaze, instructed the steward, shook his hand and turned around and left: "Lao Zhang, send the two young masters to the study for me, and the other to the lady." ”
